Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before, during, and after your inspection.

We’ve answered the most common questions to help you feel informed and confident throughout the inspection process.

Our full home inspection covers 2000 items in the average home and revolves around these 5 areas:

  • Roof – Shingles, flashing, drainage, and structural integrity.
  • Foundation & Structure – Cracks, settling, and moisture issues.
  • Electrical System – Panel, wiring, outlets, and safety hazards.
  • Plumbing – Leaks, water pressure, and drain function.
  • HVAC System – Heating, cooling, and ductwork efficiency.

Every full inspection package also includes a free state-certified termite inspection. Understanding what’s included helps homeowners and home buyers plan for repairs and maintenance.

Home inspection prices in the Kansas City Metro vary based on home size and additional services. Below is a breakdown:

Inspection TypeStarting PriceDuration
Full Home Inspection (< 1,499 sq. ft.)$4452-2.5 hrs.
Radon Testing$12548 hrs.
Sewer Scope Inspection$2051 hr.
Termite InspectionFreeIncluded with every inspection bundle

Beware: Avoid choosing your home inspector solely based on price. Good home inspectors aren’t cheap, and cheap home inspectors aren’t good. Always make sure you understand how much experience they have, the limitations of the inspection, and what’s included before making your final decision to avoid unmet expectations and disappointment when it’s over.

Most home inspections take 2 to 3 hours, depending on the property size and condition. Larger homes or inspections requiring additional services (radon, termite, sewer scope) may take longer.

Allowing for this time ensures you receive a thorough inspection without rushing through critical details.

No, home inspections in Kansas City, MO do not have a pass/fail rating. Instead, the inspector reports on the home’s condition, including any defects or safety concerns, so buyers and sellers can decide if the home is a good investment.

A detailed inspection report is a key piece in the process. Buyers and sellers use this report as a tool to negotiate repairs.

Home inspections are not legally required in Kansas City and surrounding areas, but they are highly recommended to identify potential issues before you purchase. Some lenders may require an inspection for FHA, VA, or USDA loans.

Knowing the condition of a home before purchasing provides peace of mind and greatly reduces the chance of unexpected repairs after you move in.

Some of the most common issues found in KC Metro home inspections include:

  • Roof damage – Missing shingles, leaks, poor drainage.
  • Foundation problems – Cracks, settling, water intrusion.
  • Electrical hazards – Outdated wiring, overloaded panels.
  • Plumbing leaks – Corroded pipes, water heater issues.
  • HVAC inefficiency – Dirty filters, failing components.

Finding these common problems early allows homeowners to address them during negotiations before it’s too late.

Yes, it’s highly encouraged to attend your home inspection. It allows you to:

  • See potential issues firsthand.
  • Ask the inspector questions in real time.
  • Hear the explanations, which help you understand the inspection report.

Being present at your inspection ensures you fully understand the home’s condition and better understand the inspection report later.
